The writer shares in this dislike to a
painful extent; in this case it Is inner

author of the Turkish Spy" said that
he would far prefer, sword in hand, to

a spider crawl over him in the dark.
The cat, as we have previously men
toned, has repeatedly been all object of
aversion. The Duke of SchOmbeIg. a
redOubtable soldier, could not sit in the
same room with cat. A cOurtler of
the Emperor Ferdinand carried this dis
like so far as to bleed at the nose on
hearing eat new.

courage in more than one campaign,

ner was announced and commenced, but
his guest was i'll at ease, and at length
declared his inability to go on eating. as
he was sure there was a cat in the
room. An apparently thorough. but
unavailing search was made; but his
visitor was so completely upset that the
host, with many apologies for his eX-
pertinent, "let the cat out of the bag
and out of the ottoman at the same time.
Lord Landerdale, Oh the other hand,
declared that the mewing of eat was

he had the greatest dislike to the lutte

he was by no means singular.

Henry Ill. of France had so great a

THE PRINTERS WILL FIGHT.
A Great Struggle to Take Place
Between Employers and EN-
pIoyes at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The employing
printers of the city have issued an ulti-
matum to the compositors who have
lately been on a strike. Before they
will be employed they must sign a paper
renOuncing all allegiance to Typograph
zeal Union No. IS and agree not to join
any other union or association unless
they give sixty days notice to the en-
plOyerS. The men so far have refused
to sign the agreement. In response to
a call of the union for special meeting
to discuss the attitude of the employers,
some 700 union printers assembled to-
night and unanimously resolved to fight
the typOthetR TO the bitter end. Every
Chapel in the city was represented,
including the newspaper offices. The
delegates of each reported their chapel
as willing to stand any assessment to
continue the contest. \ committee of
fifteen was appointed to wait upon every
trade organization and every Knights of
LABOR assembly in the city and solicit
moral and financial support. Measures
were taken to arrange an entertainment
for the benefit of the strikers, and
movement was inaugurated to present
the case from union standpoint to all
the labor papers throughout the coun-
try and enlist the active help of the In
ternatiOnal Typographical union.

For our own part, we will not yet be-
lieye it to be so much as possible. The
very mistakes in those glorious plays, as
where Hector is made to talk of Arts
totle, were possible to Shakespeare, but
improbable for Bacon. A thousand SIM
liar arguments crowd upon the mind to
maintain the attributiOn of all ages, the
belief of the poets contemporaries, the
firm faith of his fellow cOuntrymen at

reputation, however, appeared much too
serious and sustained to be left TO casual
and ill-infOrmed illusions. ltwas neces-
sary to acquaint the public and the
world of letters with what is forthcom-

BOHEMIAN OATS.
Missouri Farmers Trying to Find
Out ifThey Have been Swindled.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 6.-The Southwestern
grain and seed company, doing business
for the past two years at Springfield,
Mo-, are accused of obtaining money
under false pretenses, and are being
prosecuted under the act. They are
charged with the famous Bohemian oats
Swindle that was SO successfully prac-
ticed in Ohio two years ago. The
swindle consists in selling ten bushels
of oats at SIS per bushel to we'll
known farmer, taking his note payable
at the time of harvest of his first crop.
and making contract with him to buy
all the oats he raises at $40 per buShel:
The first year this contract is carried
out faithfully, and the honest farmer is
made the tool, and his neighbOrs are led
to the slaughter. They buy the oats
notes, which are easily discounted.
The Bohemian company have
been established at least year and
appear to be reliable, but by the time
the contracts of the second year mature
the company has migrated. 1t is est1-
mated that they sold 100000 worth OF
seed in Green and adjoining counties in
Missouri, and one Springfield bank
holds ST, 900 of the farmers notes. Hon.
H. q. MullingS, a well-knOwn farmer
of Green county, attempted to warn his
neighbor by an open letter to the local
papers, and was Immediately answered
by twenty equally well known farmers
who declared that there was no Swindle.
The Bohemian company appeared to
have the advantage, but Mullings con-
tinued to peg away, and John S. Ben
nett, farmer, was yesterday arrested
on an Indictment found by the grand
jury. The officers of the company left
the city some time ago, and it is be-
lieved that they have been indicted.
The officers are j. 7. StOner, of Grand

ANOTHER BIG SCHEME.
The Union Pacific and Milwaukee
to Interchange Through Bust

ness.
Within day or two the important
fact has come to the surface in railroad
circles that negotiations are in progress
between the Union Pacific and the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul roads look
ing to the formation of traffic con-
tract between the Kansas Pacific line of
the former and the Kansas City extern
sion of the latter. Of course the pur-
pose the two roads have in view is an
Interchange of through business be-
tween Chicago and the points west of
the Missouri river, reached by the Kan
SaS Pacific road. 1t was at first reported
that the arrangement was to include the
Omaha line of the st. Paul and the
Union Pacific main line. This, how
ever, was found to be incorrect. 1t is
well known that General Manager Pot
ter. of the Union Pacific, has been for
some time determined to break
through the barrier erected by the
associated lines at the Missouri river.
The extension of the Milwaukee d st.
Paul line to Kansas City. and the open
ing of that line to freight traffic seems
to give Mr.. Potter the very opportunity
that he has wanted. A traffic arrange
ment with the Kansas Pacific would be
an excellent thing. 1t is not yet con-
Summased, but it looks as though it
might be. The st. Paul line is not an
association road and therefore there is
nothing to prevent it from entering into
such an arrangement with the Kansas
Pacific. Should this be done it would
give the st. Paul road monopoly of
the business coming off the Kansas
Pacific. 1t is not at all improbable.
however, that rather than have this
occur, the association roads will make
satisfactory arrangements with the
Union Pacific.

GOING TO THE PACIFIC.
Cleveland Will Take Trip to the
Golden Gate.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-When any
one OutdOes Grover Cleveland as a poll
tician he may catch weasel asleep.
He never gets left; and those politicians
who have been going on the suppoSitiOn
that Cleveland is not versed in affairs
may as well take a reef in their ears
and let go the jib of their intellects. 1t
is aseertained that the statement con-
corning the coming of James G. Blaine
in June next is true. He will come
careering across the country from San
Francisco, playing the Grant act of 1880.
There can be no doubt that the Maine
statesman will have an ovation wher-
ever he can be seen. That may as well
be conceded at first. He is great man,
and popular with his party. But no
man can ever become so great in this
country as living president. Sen
atOr Sumner, Senator Clay, SEN
ator COnkling and other great
men have tried conclusions with
presidents and they were worsted.
Well, to be brief, just after the Blaine
procession concludes its eastward tri-
umphal march; just after his strength
and force have spent themselves, the
people of the country will be visited by
Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States. He was unable to find
time to visit the Pacific slope last year.
But he has promised his friends to come
to see them next year. Just after the
people have taken last look at the
great Republican aspirant for the presi-
dency the special train of Grover Cleve-
land will steam out of the depot here at
Washington, and it will go over the
Northern Pacific to Puget sound;
thence down the coast to Frisco, and
eastward over the route previously trav-
ersed by Mr.. Blaine. And the people
will say: "YOu have reserved the best
wine until the last of the feast" They
will most speedily forget that there was
a Blaine, and they will see that there is
a Cleveland,

The Louisville Election.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 6,-The mu-
nicipal election held in this city to-day
passed off more quietly than was eX-
pected. There was no disturbance of
any consequence, though the arrests of
parties using money at the polls were
numerous. The Hon. Chas. d. Jacob
was elected mayor by a plurality over
Avery, the Republican candidate, of
1000, Judge w. B. Hoke, the other
Democratic candidate, being out of the
race at midday, and polling small
vote. The sum of $500, raised by the
citizens publication committee, will be
expended in prosecuting the parties de-
tected in using money at the polls.

Who Was Shocked by Singers
Sleeveless Dress.
During the last two weeks the atten-
ton of the citizens of Rockford, ILL.,,
has been called to prominent young
Wolnan-MisS Catharine Waugh-who
for three years has been a member of
WlnnebagO county bar. She is grad
uate of Rockford seminary, and at last
commencement was hOnOred by her
alma mater with the degree of master
of arts. For several years Miss Waugh
has been an active member of the Young
WOman's Christian Temperance Union,
and has been an enthusiastic worker in
the Bands of Hope organized in this
city and immediate vicinity. Miss
Waugh has sought labor in other
fields also. Her best friends have often
thought that the young attorney was Il
little extreme in her views. In general
they have aScribed this to the impetu-
osity of youth and insufficient study of
believed Miss Waugh would act more
wisely as her knowledge of public queS-
tions increased. TheS were given a
surprise by her actions recent Sunday
evening. DR.. Sutherland, the pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, had an
nOunced that he would preach sermon
in opposition 10 woman suffrage. Miss
Waugh procured copies of a sermon in
favor of giving the ballot TO women, and
the evening in question, before the ser
wees commenced, passed along the
church aiSles and stood at the door dis
tributing this sermon and asking those
to whom she gave copies to read the
other side.
Miss Waugh was one Of the commit
tee on amusement of the Christian Eli
deavor society of the First COngrega-
tional church. This committee made
arrangements with the Spanish students
TO give an entertainment in the church,
which took place last week. One of the
women vocalistS of the company made
her appearance attired in a sleeveless
dress. Miss Waugh, who was in the
audience, directly on the conclusion of
the song went behind the curtain. 1t
is not true, as has been reported, that
Miss Waugh insisted on the vocalist
putting on another dress; but she did
suggest that such a thing be done.
The dress worn was not so bad," said
one in attendance, land if the arms of
the singer had been pretty it would
have been better. but they We're hOrrld-
loOkidg and ought TO have been
covered" Mis- Waugh, however, was
innocent of any such idea. and was ac-
tuated by her belief that bare arms
were out of place in church.
There is still much talk over the mat
ter in the city, and some are disposed to
say unkind things of Miss Waugh.
